>> you almost suggest she was rather two-faced or putting on an act in front of the jury. >> there's always two sides to cases, there's the public persona she wanted the jury to see and there was that side she showed when the jury was not there. >> there was a moment when her lawyers came to her to discuss potentially taking a plea deal, pleading to a lesser charge, and she had quite a reaction to that. can you tell us about it? >> i will never forget that day, one saturday morning before we were about to begin our session, the lawyers wanted time to discuss a possible plea to aggravated manslaughter with casey. they went back in the holding cell and of course the waiting area for me was by the holding cell, and all of a sudden you heard shouting coming from the holding cell, some four-letter words coming from the holding cell, and she was quite upset, so upset that one counselor suggested that she was incompetent to proceed. >> did you think there was

sufficient evidence to convict her in this case? >> one of the things i had to do is decide whether or not to send this case to a jury. yes, there was sufficient evidence to sustain a verdict of first-degree murder in this case. >> what did you think when you opened the envelope and read that verdict? >> surprise, shock, disbelief. >> i think you told me you read it twice. >> i just wanted to be sure i was reading what i was reading. >> when you say that, i don't want to put you on the spot too much, did you think the prosecutors had proved her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? >> yes, i thought they had proved a great case but you got to realize this was a circumstantial evidence case. and all the defense had to do was create that reasonable doubt and that's what they did. >> you told me before you thought this ultimately was a close case on the evidence because of some of the deficiencies in the evidence, and when you have a close case sometimes the lawyering really

matters. what did you think of the lawyering in this case? >> well, the state had better lawyers, but mr. baez was very personable and he came across as someone that you would like. it's like somebody trying to sell a used car. who are you going to buy it from? the most likeable salesperson. >> do you think it was good for the justice system that there were cameras in the court, that this was such a widely followed case? >> well in florida we've always had cameras and i think people need to know how their justice system works and that's the only way it can work. >> you look at somebody like casey anthony, she's been acquitted, free under the law and she lives in hiding, she can't go anywhere, apparently can't make a living. in your mind has justice been served to her? >> well, justice has been served in the sense that the jury has spoken but justice will finally be served one day by the judge of judges, and she's going to have to live with this and deal

with this for the rest of her life. >> judge belvin perry jr., it is good to have new person here, sir, thank you so much for bringing this pretty unique perspective on the case. >> thank you. we'll take a turn and check the weather from mr. roker in los angeles. >> announcer: today's weather is brought to you by the u.s. postal service. >> and we've had some cool weather throughout a good portion of the country. things are finally going to start to moderate a bit. we have a blocking pattern, a couple of low pressure systems on both ends of the coast, so that's keeping things cool in the southwest, also in the southeast, where it's really below normal but in the latter part of the week that jet stream makes its way, way up to the north. warmer than usual, record-setting temperatures in the pacific northwest, mild along the east coast, cool in the southwest as that low hangs out. as you can see we'll look at a lot of wet weather making its way through the mid-atlantic states on into the ohio river

half a billion dollars profit from these fraudulent ads, these are dangerous because consumers are not given the right caveats, i would normally offer, how long to take it, when to take it. >> interaction with medications. >> if they're lying about who is endorsing the product, they're almost certainly going to lie about what's in the product. >> the simple fix is you hire a lawyer, the lawyer calls the company, you threaten to sue them if they don't take your name and image off. you've tried that. why doesn't that work? >> oprah and i spend more than $1 million, you get the itty bitty small. and the big mama fish hide from you. we changed from the paradigm, right to the camera and say this, i don't sell any products. if you see my name next to the product, that's not me. we have teamed up with major vendors out there, facebook, with google and we're working together. here is the metaphor, we own the

big shopping mall. people are doing drugs in the parking lot. it's not our fault they're doing the bad things but we have to make the neighborhood safer or this is a problem. i've seen ads with you. >> i know, i was in a segment with an expert who mentioned a product, next thing you know i was endorsing that product so i get the drift here. >> unfortunately i've become the posterchild for this but for all of us in america take back the neighborhood and make it safe. coming up, reliving the 80s with mtv's original veejays. tweet us your favorite video with #today80s. we'll be back after this. as your life changes, fidelity is there for your personal economy, helping you readjust along the way, refocus as careers change and kids head off to college, and revisit your investments as retirement gets closer.

struggle has looked like for you. you said you were held hostage by food. >> it looks like alcoholism, it looks like drug addiction and i go there in the book and look at the growing amount of science behind the addiction to salt, sugar and fat. have you heard those words before lately? there has been a lot of science in books that have come out that are starting to show there may be an actual process to becoming obese that has nothing to do with the lack of discipline, nothing to do with being a slob, nothing to do with the judgments that we put on people who are obe obese, and they have everything to do with being addicted to certain foods that are surrounded, we are surrounded with. >> this went on for decades for you. you talked about having a cycle of bingeing and purging, even exercise bulimia. >> everything, and you know, i still struggled, writing this book i fell off the wagon a few times so pretty extreme behavior. >> what does that mean, falling off the wagon?

>> well, i tell the story what happened when i was writing the book, and actually i write in the book how i think ambien is a truth serum. i used to take it and one night i went downstairs and literally ate one of those large jars of nutella starting with the spoon ending up with it on my arms and my husband is standing there going what is going on but it was that kind of demon coming out in the middle of the night, it was disgusting. >> these are issues you cared about for a long time and we have more insight as to why. there came a time when you approached one of your best girlfriends, diane, to talk about her issues with weight. that led to this book. >> we have known each other 15 years, we'd shared everything, talked about her relationships, our jobs. we even had a baby together because she helped me deliver my second child because my husband was out of town. we've shared everything and diane over the course of our

relationship had gained 100 pounds and we never talked about it. so we had this incredible conversation where i went there, and i said, you know, i'm scared for you. you're fat. i even used the word obese, where she looks completely shocked but she then heard my story and the things that i did to myself, to be this thin or to be much thinner, because we ended up challenging each other. she said you ought to write a book on this. i said you ought to join me and you need to lose 75 pounds by the time this book is written and i'm going to figure out how to gain ten and be okay with it, so she is today 75 pounds lighter, i'm ten pounds heavier, sort of okay with it, still working on it, and went from a size two to a size six. we're both healthier. >> you both look fabulous. the results speak for themselves. >> yes, but it was an interesting issue, we discovered that even her at her weight and me at mine we did the same things with food. we were drawn to the same things

and we got that same brain reaction that science backs up, it's an actual reward when you eat certain foods which points to addiction. >> if you're interested you can read more, the book is called "obsessed." mika brzezinski always good to have you here. >> thank you. let's head over to natalie in london. >> all right, thanks so much, savannah. we last caught up with the cast of "the fast and furious" in rio de janeiro for "fast 5" and that became the highest grossing film in the franchise earning over $600 million. for the sixth installment, all roads lead to london as requesting fast and furious 6" promises to take the action to even greater heights. ♪ the fast and the furious. more than a decade of high energy action. cars. cash. racing. rivalries. >> it don't matter if you win by

when i think you can't possibly top success with five here we go with six. what are the expectations? how far can you go? >> i think we can go as far as the fans demand to us keep making movies. we've been lucky that we've had such a strong fan base, they love the action but they love our cast. the action wouldn't be anything without the cast, wouldn't be anything without the performances, and the dedication that the cast puts in to making these action consequences seem real and feel real and ultimately, we keep doing it because -- >> the fans, the people, them. >> yes. >> they come wherever you are, they show up. exactly. now i understand from the last time we saw you all take off, go your separate ways after a successful heist in rio.

>> yes. >> you start off in all different parts of the world. >> that's right. >> you come back together and tyrese, what brings you all back together? >> you know what? i think the family and the bond on and off camera, you know, and to be honest, when you're working on a movie of this magnitude domestically and internationally there's nothing like feeling like you're working on something that people are anticipating, it makes you really think about the characters, think about the story and the next level. it's like imagine "fast 5" being the most successful one and following it with six, we can't go backwards, we have to go up, it's a lot of pressure but we deliver. >> the family has expanded a bit. we see paula and giordana, you have a baby this time around. how does it change, paul? >> for me i feel like we've earned it, we've been doing this together for a long time and i think that what we've all learned together it's not

something that can be forced. i think if you were to take each one of us individually, and we just had this basic encounter on the street i don't think this would happen but we've been forced together more or less for a long time and as a result cool things have happened and i feel like this was just the next evolution of it. it was baby time, that was it. >> and michelle, we see, i mean i don't think it's a surprise to any fans that your character comes back because we saw a glimpse of you in five. >> that's right. >> your character is still alive. >> yes. >> i'm not going to give away any more surprises but did you know when the plot lines were being written way back when that your character was going to come back? >> it's a funny thing because me and vin have a long standing 13-year friendship since on and off screen and i found out about it by buying a ticket to go see it in paris and then when i call him up -- >> really? >> i call up vin, dude, what's

up? why is there a picture of me and when were you planning on telling me about this? he went on to tell me, well, i told you in four two years ago that this was going to happen so here we are. >> i know the fans are excited about that, and chris, to be a part of this cast amazing but also to shoot in london during the olympics. did you guys get to take in and have some fun at the same time? >> absolutely. i definitely attended some of the games and like you said, to be here with such a great cast, great family, just evolving and progressing every single film and i'm happy to learn, but being here in london was great for me. i have a whole new appreciation for europe, everywhere. >> paul, really quickly i heard you went to women's beach volleyball. favorite event? >> of course we did. >> we all get to look forward to the action "fast and furious 6" from our sister company, universal pictures, it opens nationwide on may 24th, and you guys can't wait. tyrese you got a little dance? >> we got the shoulders, show

written on the page, have you changed him substantially over the nine seasons? >> no, i don't think so. i owe everything to the writers and greg daniels who created the show is a total genius, and so what they've done especially with the jim and pam relationship is always keep it real, what do real people go through rather than what is good for ratings and what would be great for drama. how do people experience relationships. >> jim and pam to me are one of the stand-outs of the show, and is it because of what you just said that it's not this glamour couple that everybody who is in the workplace can identify with those two people? >> i think so. i don't think jenna and i never knew, about people being involved with our characters, my relationship's just like your relationship or i want a relationship like that or oh my god, my boyfriend proposed to me in a similar way. it was just so amazing to be part of a family. >> ever since it's been announced the show is going off the air there's been a farewell tour. >> yes. >> you were in scranton,

pennsylvania. >> oh my god. >> for people who don't watch the show is where the show is set. what was it like being there? >> bar none the most surreal experience i've been a part of. you can see it's thousands and thousands of people came, people came from brazil, people came from all over the country and all over the world and there's just nothing you can say to people who actually not only been fans of the show but kept you on the air, these are the fans that bought our show on itunes when it was free on nbc, that's a big deal. >> congratulations and also all the opportunities you made for yourself. >> thank you. >> great work on that show. >> i always loved coming here. will you hire me? >> we will hire you but i don't think we'll have to hire you. >> write that down? >> special one-hour episode of "the office" thursday, 9:00, 8:00 central time. some interesting way medical students are learning bedside manner but first this is "today" on nbc.

we're back at 8:38, when you're training to become a doctor how do you learn the art of bedside manner? nbc's chief medical editor dr. nancy snyderman is here with a look at an innovative program. >> i hear from medical school professors all the time say students come in eager and impassioned about helping others and they leave cynical and harsh doctors. one doctor in arizona is trying to change that by offering a first of its kind class for young medical students in a place you just wouldn't expect. >> nice to meet you. >> reporter: dr. alan hamilton isn't your typical neurosurgeon. after mentoring young physicians for 25 years he's come to believe that the needed medicine is not another technological advance but a return to the basic principle of communication so instead of just teaching

students in a hospital, he brings some here. >> breathe and relax. >> to a corral. how does the professor of neurosurgery end up with two horses? >> i moved out here specifically to do neurosurgery by day and horses by night. we're going to find a place to introduce ourselves where it's safe. >> reporter: he's pioneered a unique class for first year medical students at the university of arizona medical center teaching every kind of skill they would need to approach a patient but in this class, the patient is a horse. >> i put my arm around him like this so the whole time even when i go through his blind spot he knows where i am. the whole thing started one day, i was in a hurry, we had a case in the emergency department, i was delayed getting to clinic and we burst into this room we were in a hurry and this woman screamed when we walked into the room because we came in so fast, i just remember thinking to myself, boy, i never would have done that, if that was a horse. >> reporter: a lesson this

seasoned surgeon wishes he had learned at an earlier stage in his career, and because of that, he's determined to make an impact on the young doctors of tomorrow. >> i'm studying books instead of focusing on patient care and this is one class i could do as an elective to learn how to better interact with animals and learn how to use my body language to interact with patients. >> now he's making eye contact with you because you approached him in a very sensitive way. >> it's a lot like a patient. >> yes. >> they even learn the art of giving immunizations. >> pull back out, rub it, nicely done. >> reporter: hamilton wants to instill a different kind of knowledge in america's next generation of doctors, helping them to overcome fear and build confidence. do you think this kind of program can improve the doctor/patient relationship? >> absolutely. but i'll tell you probably more important is it saves doctors. our salvation is going to be to go back to what really makes us

fulfilled, which is this essence of human/human interaction and the ability to take somebody in the most dire of circumstances and say grab my hand, i know where we're going. we're in this together. >> dr. hamilton's class has been offered since 2001 and similar courses are offered at stanford university and the university of medicine dentistry of new jersey, it say real lesson in the art of communication from animal to man and i tell you these students learned a lot. >> i love other universities are picking up on it. >> really cool. >> thank you very much. >> you bet. up next flashing back to the '80s with the mtv original vee jays, so excited about this. first this is "today" on nbc.

down burgers, all of this in an attempt to deal with pain? what was it? >> there's a lot of reasons why a lot of women do it and they all have different reasons. >> what was your reason? >> well, i personally think it's the only thing that loved me back or i felt did. i blamed this on no one, but i think what links us and even obese people and very skinny women and those who have food problems is the science that i see growing behind it and that is the salt, the sugar and the fat put in most of the food we eat, developing this brain reward and we look at studies that looked at brain scans and the pleasure center of the brain would light up when they would eat these foods laced in all these ingredients that are i say addictive. it would be the same type of lighting up as the brain would to cocaine, and so i link this to addiction, and then we look at obesity, her obesity and i challenged her, write the book with me, i'll pay you to lose weight, to write the book with

me and lose weight. she has lost, my friend diane smith, who is an emmy award winning journalist who gained this weight over all the years, 75 pounds. >> there she is. >> you talk about the addiction and i think about people who are struggling to lose weight and they lose a couple of pounds but get discouraged. it's almost as if the game is rigged against you. >> it is rigged against you. that's what i find everyone says you're so judgmental to people who are obese. what this book does is stop that stuff. it stops, it cuts it because if you look at the science behind how we eat and you look at all the factors that play into obesity i don't think we look at this enough and we talked to a lot of very high profile people who deal with this problem and also the discrimination against them. chris christie is insulted every day, the governor of new jersey, for being obese. you think he wants to live that way? do you think my friend diane wanted to be the way she was and

still struggles not to be today? it's something more, and it's something that i think science will prove to be an addiction just as bad as alcoholism, drugs or cigarettes. >> and a lot of high profile people speak out about their struggles. >> there are solutions, too, real ones. >> sound the alarm. take three, binkis and bacteria. there's a study in the journal "pediatrics" finds if you suck your child's pacifier clean as a parent you may be helping your kids avoid exczema and asthma. 65% reported sucking the pacifier to clean it, stockily reduced when they were examined at 18 months of age. we talked to some of our producers before who don't have kids and say that's disgusting. those of us who have kids it's ten times a day, right back into
